Alex,
Was that ST10 you sold to Mark a self guiding one?

Whats your thoughts on these self guiding St's for ease of use?
I don't have a guide scope so when I make the next plunge deeper into imaging these self guiders (from the sbig site) sound really good.
I was thinking of getting one in the new year to help and maybe discover with S/Nova discoveries with upto 1 minute exposures as they are high QE but if I want to do some imaging with narrowband and RGB will need to guide so these sound like they will be good at long focal lengths?
I was looking at either the ST8 self guider or maybe even the ST10.

I read that these self guiding chips don't like narrow band filters but Astronomik put out a range of Narrowband thats suited for the Sbig line self guiding.
Have you had or heard of experiences with these filters and self guiding?


Regards Matt.
